Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for people who can't resist a good whodunit and anyone who watches cooking shows for fun. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. Liked Evil Under the Sun or Mulholland Drive? This is a good next one. Don't watch it hungry.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Never drags, at 1 hr 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Not ideal if you just want to unwind.

Famed culinary consultant Henry Ross is a charming food industry insider in San Francisco. When suspicious sabotage ends in a shocking murder at his friend’s five-star restaurant, Henry is put on the case with strong-willed police detective and single mom, Maggie Price. Despite Maggie’s protests, they must work together to decipher the clues and investigate all of San Francisco’s top culinary pros.
